Human Centric Sensing (HCS) leverages devices carried by humans to collect useful information. These devices can be anything such as mobile phone, PDA, and portable air quality sensor as long as people can carry them to perform sensing tasks. History The concept of HCS was originally proposed by researchers at the College of Information Sciences and Technology, The Pennsylvania State University in 2009. It was established on the basis of two strands of research: Participatory Sensing and Opportunistic Sensing. Difference with traditional sensing Compared to traditional sensing, HCS adopts a grass-root approach to observe environmental phenomena instead of a top-down approach. This new approach can help to collect more information, which can be used to complement traditional hard sensors. In addition, by adopting the grass-root approach, researchers believe that new perspectives will be generated and new understandings will be created. See Also
